Page 8: Xerox FreeF low Accxes and Web Printer Management Tooldownload.support.xerox.com/pub/docs/WF_6204/... · Xerox ® FreeF low ® Accxes ® Print Serv er and Web Printer Management Tool

System RequirementsThere are several important system requirements for setting up network printing,including:

• A working knowledge of your network operating environment

• A workstation with the appropriate operating system software installed

• The proper TCP/IP protocol settings configured for network connectivity

• Network cabling that is compliant with Ethernet specifications for the environmentin which the printer is installed

Small Networks

For small networks consisting of several network-connected devices/workstations and asingle hub, it is necessary to set up the printer with an individual IP Address and a SubnetMask. The Subnet Mask must match all the other local area network-connectedworkstations in use. Unless a router (Gateway) is being used to gain access to the largerwide area network, a default Gateway address is not needed.

Larger Networks

For Larger Networks consisting of many network-connected devices/workstations, withmultiple hubs and routers, it is mandatory to set up the printer with an individual IPAddress and Subnet Mask. The Subnet Mask must match the subnet that the printer ison. The Gateway address is the router address that the printer uses to gain access tothe larger, wide area network.

NOTEThe IP address and Subnet Mask can be setup automatically using the DynamicHost Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This is accomplished once the networkconnection is configured via DHCP. Refer to Chapter 2 in this guide for details.

Prerequisite KnowledgeThe Xerox FreeFlow® Accxes® Wide Format Print Server v15.0 works with the followingmonochrome Xerox Wide Format printers: the 6204®, 6279®, 6604/6605 Solution™, and6622 Solutions™. This robust, sophisticated and easy to use image processing print serverprovides significant value to customer operations while ensuring fast, productive topquality results in every print or scan job.

FreeFlow Accxes Print Server operations are conducted through the copy and print systemUser Interface, Web Printer Management Tool, FreeFlow Accxes Client Tools, and printerdrivers.
